Coverage of OrthoChess events has not been extensive since November 2013
title match between Carlsen and Anand. Supposed breaking news:
Http://en.chessbase.com/post/breaking-news-world-championship-2014-in-norway.
It's April 1, so unlikely the match is to be on oil rig. Yet other than Roberto Lavieri's
elo rating discussion a decade ago, Chess variantists mostly avoid
Simpleminded Chess anyway, and oil rig would be really tacky. On the very same day chessbase announces World Championship on practical temporizing oil rig, oxymoronically: http://www.denverpost.com/nationworld/ci_25463370/u-s-calls-costs-inaction-catastrophic, so the joke's on 10 million species.
This topic will go on looking at
some great games, like the one already queried Aronian versus Carlsen in 2011, http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1633757: where does White go wrong?
It is continuation of topic "Spassky-Bronstein++":
http://www.chessvariants.org/index/listcomments.php?subjectid=4a7b07267bc311c0. There over score of OrthoChess all-time games are annotated, including most of the Spassky-Fischer 1972.
[Instead of quote, today's side topic: http://www.ifaw.org/united-states/our-work/whales/which-countries-are-still-whaling. Here's for genuine end to Whale slaughter, as well as Draw-dominated simpleminded OrthoChess championship business as usual?]
